It's not every day that you get to cruise down the Ocean in a 700 Horsepower Supercharged sport coupe from the 1950s, but that's exactly what we got to do for this excellent review of our client's 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air Convertible. We also cruised through Palm Beach and stopped for a photo by the fantastic Colony Hotel, which was the perfect backdrop for this Salmon colored, two-toned 55' hot rod.
In its heyday, this car came off the production line for $1741, while this one was sold at auction for a number that even inflation can't take credit for. Many of these cars are outdated and have been sitting around for 10-15 years before they go up for sale by their recent owners. Our client wanted the convertible top to function flawlessly, a big increase in power, and the looks to bring it all together.
We'd also like to give a big shoutout to our friends at Florida High Performance for their great work that helped us dial in this car. You can visit their channel for some amazing Late Model GM content at: / channel
